200MAT Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mrs Kumar.
Recommended Prior LearningStudents should have achieved at least 14 credits in NCEA Level 1 Mathematics, including core numeracy standards, to enrol in this course.
NCEA Level 2 Mathematics and Statistics builds on foundational skills to develop critical thinking, logical reasoning, and problem-solving abilities. Students will deepen their understanding of mathematical concepts, with a curriculum covering key topics in algebra, geometry, calculus, trigonometry, statistics, and probability. The course integrates both theoretical and applied mathematical approaches and emphasizes real-world applications relevant to life in Aotearoa New Zealand and beyond. Assessment methods include a mix of internally and externally assessed NCEA Achievement Standards. Students should have achieved at least 14 credits in NCEA Level 1 Mathematics, including core numeracy standards, to enrol in this course. The specific topics and standards may vary according to each class program.
